Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe, recycling is big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discover it new ways to be sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products. When low-quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones –a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the world returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
61. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How to produce garbage disposal B. What people often understand about the term "recycle"
C. What is involved in the recycling movement D. How to live sensitively to the environment.
62. What does the word "sensitive" in the phrase "sensitive to the environment." mean?
A. cautious B. logical C. responding D. friendly
63. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT_______
A. buy high-quality product B. buy simply-wrapped things C. buy fewer hamburgers D. reuse cups
64. Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A. Because people will soon throw them away. B. Because they have to be repaired many times.
C. Because customers change their ideas all the time. D. Because they produce less energy.
65. What does it mean "Customers can vote with their wallets?"
A. They can tell the producers which products are good for environment by buying them.
B. They can cast a lot to praise a producer.
C. They can ask people to choose products with less packaging. D. They can choose the cheapest products.
66. The word "motto" is closest in meaning to___________

Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
TAMMY WYNETTE
Tammy Wynette fulfilled many a girl's fantasy from the American South by moving from the cotton fields to become America's self styled First Lady of Country Music. Along the way, she sold more records than any other female country and western star. But as well as 35 number one hits and White House performances for four different presidents, the so-called "Heroine of Heartbreak" also had five husbands and four children, seventeen surgical operations and once experienced a kidnapping.
Her life story, she freely admitted, was "ridiculous - mostly because I've made it that way". The best thing that perhaps could be said about Wynette's personal dramas was that they provided an endless source of good material. "I write better when I'm depressed," she claimed, and was once accused of setting to music 'every angry word and flying plate'.
As with everything else throughout Tammy's career, her beginnings in music were closely connected to a personal tragedy. Her father who'd dreamed of becoming a professional musician himself, was very ill when Tammy was born and he died when she was just nine months old. On his death bed, he made his wife promise to encourage their daughter to take an interest in music if she showed any talent. Young Wynette, as she became known, began taking piano lessons at the age of eight, and she became so good at playing by ear that her piano teacher eventually gave up on her.
Tammy only really started to take her singing ambitions seriously, however, after the break- up of her first marriage to Euple Byrd. Now with three children and after several frustrating and fruitless trips to Nashville in search of a recording contract , she was persuaded that she would have a better chance if she moved there and so it was in 1966 that she packed her children and their few belongings into her car and drove to “ Music City”. Euple happened to drive past just as she was leaving.” In your dreams, baby, in your dreams”, he said when she told him her plan. ( Years late, when Euple asked her to sign a photograph, Tammy was able to return this sentiment in writing.)
Arriving in Nashville, Tammy would leave the children in the car while she did the rounds of the record companies. She eventually slipped past an absent secretary and into the offices of producer Billy Sherrill at Epic Records. He remembers her as a pale, desperate looking girl but he instantly fell for her voice with what he called its "teardrop quality". And the rest, as they say, is history ...
